Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

"Polanski was joined by many Labour MPs in opposing the government’s plans, although most of them are thought to be prepared to reluctantly support the measures."

What's the point of being in Labour?

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.

If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

The most frustrating thing about the last 6 months is just how much my colleagues and fellow students at Harvard have consistently underestimated the threat Trump posed.

I was told I was overreacting and things won't be that bad. And yet, it is and it can still get so much worse.

As I argue in the article linked below, "concerns about immigration" are created in a top down manner and focusing on this only serves to legitimise and normalise the far right

Starmer is not trying to counter Reform, he's normalising far right politics

While I'm not involved in any political party, I think @zackpolanski.bsky.social's analysis is correct. Thanks to Labour's multiple, infuriating failures, the Greens could become huge here, but only if they are bolder, more assertive and, yes, "eco-populist". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Palestinians are not “facing” starvation.

They are being starved to death by Israel.

Yet our government still refuses to end all arms sales and implement sanctions, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes against humanity.

End the blockade — and stop the genocide.

Brexit has become a by-word for failure. It continues to act as a drag on our economy & much time is now rightly spent trying to undo some of the damage.

As with Brexit, Reform’s populist promises will solve no one’s problems & create far more.

Liberals don’t want transformative politics, they just want vibes. Sadly, they are not the progressive they pretends but the true conservatives. They want no change in wealth distribution and power structure.
